Some 100 visit as Stained Glass Sunday Afternoon proves a big success
The first Stained Glass Sunday Afternoon in 13 years drew about 100 people, says Community Preservation Specialist Chris Usler.
Even more encouraging, those visitors came motivated to listen and learn. “I was pleasantly surprised not only that we got the turnout we did but the people who did attend were really interested,” says Usler, based at the Western Regional Office in Terre Haute. “They spent a lot of time trying to learn and understand.”
